Am I missing a reference to another thread or something about NFL coaches being chicken or many NFL coaches being terrible? This must be your 10th post stating as much... if it's a joke, I want in.  |
He didn't go for 4 and 15 to take the lead, he was just trying to get a first down to eventually kick a FG, the play just opened up because of blown coverage. I wouldn't call going for it on 4 and 15 with less than 2 minutes left and only 2 timeouts that gutsy. He didn't really have much choice. I always prefer a team go for it on 4th down and whatever rather than punting it away and maybe not getting it back.
Yeah I agree with you, I hate prevent defenses.
It's not a joke it's my observation that most NFL coaches don't have a clue and I'll continue to point it out. As I mentioned in other posts, I like the strategy of football almost as much as the action itself and seeing this coaches constant screw it up is frustrating to me.
You can read posts from others saying how unprepared and basly coached SD is. All that wasted talent.
